While political opponents spin themselves into varying degrees of discomfort with flubs and horrific talking points, President Obama is enjoying the summer. And look, America—he made you a mixtape. A two-parter, no less, for daytime and nighttime, as the chill commander in chief is well aware that different times call for different moods.

Is this the perfect music for the summer? Can any of the presidential candidates top this eclectic yet mellow mix for the hot summer days? And what would Tim Kaine’s playlist consist of (smart bet is a lot of Doobie Brothers and/or James Taylor)?
